Abstract
The current study is an attempt to identify similarities and differences of collocates with the headwords bachelor and viengungis in free word combinations and collocations of the English and Lithuanian languages and identify what the speaker’s attitudes they express concerning the referent. English and Lithuanian media corpora containing free word combinations and collocations with the headword bachelor / viengungis manifest more similarities than differences in terms of semantics and connotation of collocates. However, the number of negative collocates with the Lithuanian word viengungis is proportionally bigger than in English which shows a more negative attitude of Lithuanian society towards unmarried men, which is expressed through the media.
